AXIS-Y
Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
SerumSerum
This may be a useful option if you want a 5% niacinamide serum aimed at the look of dark spots, and you accept rosemary leaf oil on the official INCI. The name is marketing language — this page does not promise correction.

Serum. Official INCI includes 5% niacinamide (brand-stated), sodium hyaluronate, and rosemary leaf oil. No Parfum named on that INCI.
How it fits into a routine
Routine role: Treatment. Consider it for this step if the formula and texture suit your skin.
Beginner-friendly as a moderate niacinamide serum if essential oils are acceptable. Not a fade timeline.
- Official 5% niacinamide plus sodium hyaluronate is why this belongs next to the niacinamide and hyperpigmentation articles.
- Rosemary leaf oil is why essential oils are marked present — that is a skip reason for some readers, not a ranking.
- It is a different dark-spot story from Anua TXA (no listed BHA on this INCI) and from Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum (no listed BHA here either).
